Do you ever wonder about all the different hands that bring your "local food" to the table? This interactive event is about providing a glimpse into the precarious and unseen labour that upholds our food system, and the complexities of ‘'local food”, featuring perspectives from Southern Ontario migrant farm labourers, food service workers, and community activists from Justicia ("Justice") for Migrant Workers.

We will also be celebrating the launch of Toronto Youth Food Policy Council’s academic journal: ‘Gathering' with its amazing authors and contributors! Come see the new edition and get a copy!

This event will be held at the Worker’s Action Centre (WAC), an organization committed to improving the lives and working conditions of workers in low-wage and unstable employment, in particular, immigrants, racialized people, women, and youth. WAC organizes workers' rights movements, such as the $15 and Fairness campaign to raise the provincial minimum wage to $15/hour. See more information about WAC here:http://www.workersactioncentre.org/
